    All restaurants in Hawaii including the hotel restaurant require a negative covid test. Once you have proof it's only good for 48 hours

    Everyone was so nice and respectful

    The facility was spotless and in a location close to lots of shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. They were quick to meet all of our needs and requests. Our trip was part vacation and part solemn occasion. We had an at sea burial for a family member; the hotel staff were instrumental in assisting with locating a local company to make the arrangements. I would highly recommend the Ritz Carlton Residences.

    I have never stayed at a more beautiful hotel. One where every single employee anticipated my needs and went above and beyond. It’s absolutely worth the money and the restaurant, quiora, was AMAZING. We had it almost everyday for breakfast and dinner.

    No shuttle service to beach and other areas. No room service.

    I loved the customer service with front desk and valet. The room was amazing. Working oven and stove. Refrigerator and freezer, washer and dryer. Great ocean view from my room. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room was clean and the toilet had a great addition of a heated seat. The pool views were amazing and I loved it wasn’t jam packed with people.

    We had one of the best experiences at Ritz-Carlton residence in Waikiki as our first time in Hawaii. We definitely feel very welcomed from the moment we stepped out of the airport pick up. The view from our one-bedroom ocean-view suite was spectacular. The service during our 7 day stay are as excellent as many international resorts worldwide we've been to. We normally travel to Bali or Phuket, within this price range, you can get a very nice ocean view villa with a private pool and 24 hours of Butler services. However, we decided on Hawaii this summer due to covid cases rising in Asia. To be honest, we didn't regret deciding on Ritz-Carlton. If you want to wonderful resort experience as your first long flight travel post-covid, please don't settle in for 3 or 4 stars hotels, you will be shocked how poorly some of their services are. We learned our lesson in a hard way. Enjoy your stay here! You will love it 💖🌺!

    if it was on the Beach probably was sold out for years!

    This is not my first Waikiki visit, but this is the best until now. Spotless, big size room and strange round shape tub. Is not on the Beach but the property smells like new , and everything work properly. Walking distance from everywere!

    Great staff, but not close to the beach

    For things that we wish were better, is that Ritz is not actually close to the beach which was my impression when I was booking, but instead, the walking directions from the reception desk was to walk through Luxury Row! Which in theory sounds great, but was embarrassing when walking with a floatie on your head, and with two children wet and muddy from playing in the beach. Another inconvenience was that having breakfast at the La Vie in-hotel restaurant needs reservation done the previous day, you cannot just walk in after kids wake up. I don't understand why there is no buffet option for guests that are staying at the hotel.

    We enjoyed our stay at Ritz-Carlton Waikiki, thanks to fantastic staff. The concierge folks and valet folks were always helpful and smiling and not waiting on tips. The housekeeping folks were amazing, such as quietly making the beds when the toddler was sleeping on the sofa-bed. Jefferson from engineering also made the children feel welcome.

    Next to no verandah. Would have much preferred to have room location with limited verandah clerly communicated as part of the room selection criteria. Breakfast experience wasn't great and as a result we chose to eat at other hotel restaurant options for the week. We would have spent alot more money at the property if the menu options were better. The fact that the adult pool was being servied during our stay should have also been communicated to us.

    Have to say again, the front desk staff and their superior attitude isn’t quite the right mode for Honolulu. They seem to be striving for professionalism, but that doesn’t mean to act aloof and cool—like they are trying to emulate a high-end Japanese hotel— doesn’t work here. Housekeeping and the Valet are truly excellent- with each interaction you can feel they go above and beyond. We stayed once pre Covid and then last fall— Front desk=consistently off and unable to deal satisfactorily both times.

    For the price, I wouldn’t classify that as a two bedroom. The second bedroom didn’t have room for a suitcase. The room was also not clean. The shower had hair (not ours) stuck to the walls (on several sides). Several of the products had been used prior to our arrival and hadn’t been replaced. The food from room service was also extremely disappointing for the price.

    The service and staff were all extremely kind and helpful. The amenities in the room (kitchen supplies) were great. Air conditioning worked exceptionally.
